nice engine build. I would definitely be looking at upgrading the suspension. it has lots of movement under power (to be expected with that much) but it also moves around a lot more than it should under brakes. if it's still got the stock gear in it there is a good chance it's stuffed by now. no need to go nuts but some upgraded shocks and springs will do wonders for it.

just upgraded the brakes to some endless pads.

thanx guys

=)

great car make thing sounds unreal was great to watch in real life.. how were you taking off at the start? are you dumping it or just letting the power do its work

taking off on the 2step with 25psi at 6000rpm and playing with it off first gear.

=)

Great build ! and nice to see it being used like it is ment ;)

WOW

big dollar spend GTR, that actually geting USED.... now this is rare and nothing is blowing up either :)

i looked at the videos, "you photos needs a bit of work mate"

and thought to my self god he must be running a Dog box or something and read

Transmission :

Standard Getrag 6 Speed

Ogura Quad plate clutch

how on earth does the standard Getrag keep up with this much POWER , "i must abuse mine a bit more now"

if you can build this car then you can get a guy to take some nice photos of that engine bay

Why wouldnt the standard Getrag keep up with 800 whp ? isnt it the same V160/V161 as in the Supra ? and there are bunch of Supras with stock getrag gearboxes running 8 second 1/4 miles and with 1000-1500whp even the SW/ Boost logic supra has a stock V160 Getrag gearbox running 7.91 @ 189 mph in the 1/4 mile and cutting 1.26 60ft

sry for the offtopic op

Shock loading from launching an AWD car, twists the gearbox casing causing the case to crack. A supra will get some wheel spin, and at least some wheel spin reduces torque twisting stresses. Flexing and cracking of the gearbox casing, and also flexing of internal thrust surfaces causes internal parts to go out of alignment when under load. Once that happens its all downhill from there.

Look up the RIPS BORG R33 GTR build on gtr.co.uk. They post up pictures of the carnage after a good launch destroys an r34 getrag that had a PPG gearset.

My mind still boggles at the thought that these supra drag cars are using "stock" gearboxes too. I think some people's interpertation of stock and others differ somewhat, and the only stock parts might well be the casing and a few bearings. Nobody that races cars that run 7's tells the world precicely how they did it.. so sure, its all stock!

you talk of Supra getting some wheelspin ? but as i said they are cutting 1.25-1.40 60ft that means they are hooking pretty good ! and yes they all say that hey are using a completely stock from factory gearbox, only time ive seen a Supra split a gearbox casing was Saad´s Supra when he was running low 8´s

Btw here is the top list for 6 speed supra, all of them with a completely stock from factory getrag v160 gearbox / internals untouched

1. [email protected] SW/Boost Logic. 6 speed, 3.4L, BL GT55-91, NOS, AEM (highest mph 189.7)

2. 8.29@174 Saad N Saad Valero In The Zone, 6 speed, ProEFI, 55-91, 150shot

3. [email protected] Ryan Woon. WOTM 6 speed, 3.4L stroker, GT55-91, single fogger, 3330lbs

4. 8.38@174 Darin Dichiara 6-speed, 3300 lbs, GT47-88R, 3.0L + nitrous motec m600 28x10.5 ET drags

5. 8.41@ 179 Rich Homer 3.4, 47-88, direct port, motec, tilton http://www.youtube.c...h?v=yirVDXbUR5s

6. [email protected] SW/Chris Johnson/Boostlogic. 6 speed, 3.4L stroker, BL GT55-91 , 3650lbs

sry again for the off topic op

All very impressive mate but that doesnt alter the fact that the gtr has an issue with the gertrag box.

For the few years i've been involved in the skyline scene its been common knowledge that there are issues when they are leaned on hard.

There is one down at Dan's workship as we speak with this very problem.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
